I was born and raised in San Francisco, California. In 2003, I joined the U.S. Marine Corps and was honorably discharged in 2013. During my time in service, I was stationed on the west coast, the east coast, and was deployed around the world. My wife and I, and our three kids currently live in Pingree Grove, Illinois.
My instructor background started in 2007 when I became a certified RiderCoach for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Since then, I have taught classes in California, Florida, Wisconsin, and here in Illinois. I am certified to teach the Basic Rider Course for two- and three-wheel motorcycles, the Advanced Rider Course and Military Sportbike Rider Course, the Adventure Bike Rider Course, and the Dirtbike School - Closed-Range Exercises. I also instructed sportbike clinics for 8 years, where my team and I taught riders how to improve their cornering skills at the racetrack.
Recently, I became a Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR) Ambassador, where I help host movie premieres at dealerships and support the organization's mission to promote rider education, safety, and responsible travel along the routes. I look forward to meeting you in one of my classes!
